    The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kent Puckett, Chair Professor Celeste G. Langan Professor Melinda Y. Chen Spring 2015 The Disability Drive © Anna Mollow, 2015. 1 Abstract The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California Berkeley Professor Kent Puckett, Chair This dissertation argues that the psychic force that Freud named “the death drive” would more precisely be termed “the disability drive.” Freud‟s concept of the death drive emerged from his efforts to account for feelings, desires, and actions that seemed not to accord with rational self- interest or the desire for pleasure. Positing that human subjectivity was intrinsically divided against itself, Freud suggested that the ego‟s instincts for pleasure and survival were undermined by a competing component of mental life, which he called the death drive. But the death drive does not primarily refer to biological death, and the term has consequently provoked confusion. By distancing Freud‟s theory from physical death and highlighting its imbrication with disability, I revise this important psychoanalytic concept and reveal its utility to disability studies. While Freud envisaged a human subject that is drawn, despite itself, toward something like death, I propose that this “something” can productively be understood as disability. In addition, I contend that our culture‟s repression of the disability drive, and its resultant projection of the drive onto stigmatized minorities, is a root cause of multiple forms of oppression.

  • Transcending Political Party Constraints: an Ideographic
    TRANSCENDING POLITICAL PARTY CONSTRAINTS: AN IDEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE RHETORIC OF CHARLIE CRIST AND JOE LIEBERMAN AS INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES by Cara Poplak A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wished to express her sincere thanks and love to her parents and family for their support and encouragement throughout the writing of this manuscript. The author is grateful to her advisors at Florida Atlantic for their continuous guidance and assistance in the completion of this manuscript. ii ABSTRACT Author: Cara Poplak Title: Transcending Political Party Constraints: An Ideographic Analysis of the Rhetoric of Charlie Crist and Joe Lieberman as Independent Candidates Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Becky Mulvaney Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2011 This thesis analyzes how the American political system presents specific rhetorical constraints for independent and third party candidates who are ―othered‖ by the system. To better understand how independent candidates overcome these constraints, the rhetoric of two such recent candidates, Charlie Crist and Joe Lieberman, is analyzed using ideographic criticism. These two candidates were originally affiliated with one of the two major political parties, but changed their party affiliation to run as Independent candidates. To facilitate their transition to independent candidates, both politicians used popular American political ideographs such as ―the people,‖ ―freedom,‖ and ―unity‖ to maintain their allegiance to America and their constituencies, while separating their political ideology from their prior party affiliation.

Post-Election Legal Strategy in Florida: The Anatomy of Defeat and Victory Steve Bickerstaff * I. INTRODUCTION With the passage of time since the abrupt end of the 2000 post- election legal battle in the Florida presidential election, several research groups I have examined categories of uncounted or disputed ballots and reported their findings. 2 These findings show that the post-election battle was Al Gore's battle to win. The final certified totals on November 26, 2000, gave George W. Bush a winning margin of 537 votes out of approximately six million.3 This miniscule lead could have been eclipsed by Gore, either during the recount or the election contest stage of the post-election period, if the Gore legal team's strategies had been successful. * Visiting Professor of Law, University of Texas at Austin.

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women’s Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers’ familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, followed by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first publication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. Subscription prices (print only; for online prices, consult publisher). 4. Subscription address. 5.
